Newham Council and LLDC consulted last month on some measures to improve some junctions in the Chobham Manor area.
The proposals are to
- straighten out the zebra crossing from Honour Lea Avenue over Olympic Park Avenue into the Olympic Park, and add a parallel crossing to formally allow people to cycle across it with priority
- add a mode filter at the junction with Temple Mills Lane and Abercrombie Road, only allowing buses and coaches
- add speed cushions on Abercrombie Road and Olympic Park Avenue.
We were pleased to support these proposals, although we had reservations about the use of speed cushions which are not in line with best practice for cycle routes. We suggested the use of sinusoidal humps instead, and consultation with local stakeholders who use three-wheelers.
